Destinations
From the short-grass plains of the Serengeti to the reefs of Zanzibar — the places our journeys are built around.
The Great Migration
Close to two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle move in a continuous loop through the Serengeti ecosystem, following the rains. Where they are depends entirely on the month — and on the year.
Jul – Oct
Northern Serengeti & the Mara River
The herds mass along the Mara River. This is the window most travellers hope for, though crossings depend entirely on the herds on the day.
Wildlife movement varies every year with the rains, and sightings — including river crossings — can never be guaranteed. We position your camps for the best realistic chance.
